The map below shows the combined cycling route network under different scenarios of cycling uptake.
Figure 1 Combined route network
The combined cycling route network under the baseline scenario is shown by default. Click on the layers button in the top left of the maps to see the other scenarios: Near market, Climate action plan, Go Dutch, and Ebike. The Schools layer, also hidden by default, shows the location and size (number of students) of the schools in each county.
For more detailed definition of the scenarios and the cycling route network types (‘balanced’, ‘quietest’, and ‘fastest’ defined by CycleStreets), see the FAQ.
The graph below shows the proportion of trips made by cycling as a function of route distance for the different scenarios in Kildare. It shows how the percentage of trips made by cycling decreases as route distances increase, highlighting that more than 30% of trips that are 5km or less in distance are made by cycling under the Go Dutch scenario and that this percentage decreases for longer trips.
The lines on this graph have been smoothed to highlight the trend.
